Exactly - I believe it should be required for safety, limits shenanigans, etc. Apparently, it is required in Puerto Rico, but I don't know if drivers have to enable it themselves or if the app knows where the driver is operating. Are you saying the rider can also turn it on all the time? If so, that's good - I've only ever it seen driver's request it (all in PR, and one in mainland US, everywhere else, no PIN).



Right, YOU need to enable it. I assumed it was always up to the rider, since they're the beneficiary of it.
